When I lived in Brazil the sweet potatoes there were lighter in color, more a white-yelowish, and would not compare in flavor to the ones found here. (I actually didn't like the ones back there.... yuck!)<BR/>AnaAnahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02059525939843970727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14099844.post-1159536484380936752006-09-29T09:28:00.000-04:002006-09-29T09:28:00.000-04:00In Asia, they are very distinct.

It's especially good in winter. Kinda like a sweet soup for dessert!Bo-Bo Galhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14381368410706181669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14099844.post-1159536151840743202006-09-29T09:22:00.000-04:002006-09-29T09:22:00.000-04:00I go for the sweet potatoes...then proceeded to tr...I go for the sweet potatoes...then proceeded to try and make fries which I always burn! lolwheresmymindhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01463227001314397741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14099844.post-1159497918427179322006-09-28T22:45:00.000-04:002006-09-28T22:45:00.000-04:00Hmmm, Sweet Potatoes....

We don't typically have access to 'true' yams in the states. Here, sweet potatoes and yams are often labeled the same thing in the stores depending on where you live - hence my question!Joehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12900263145684208002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14099844.post-1159492880121107362006-09-28T21:21:00.000-04:002006-09-28T21:21:00.000-04:00Yams and sweet potatoes are different.<A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yam_%28vegetable%29" REL="nofollow">Yams</A> and <A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sweet_potatoes" REL="nofollow">sweet potatoes</A> are different.atom probehttp://arc.nucapt.northwestern.edu/noreply@blogger.com
